During the Cold War , the Soviet Union has sold hundreds of combat aircraft to dozens of nations.

Nowadays, the list of countries buying Russian combat planes is short and is mostly composed of just the countries in Russia 's sphere of influence.

This video will explore the numbers, analyze each and every recent purchase as well as a failed bid.

Russia crashed from 400 to 500 jets per decade in the 1990s and 2000s to this? Is the war in Ukraine part of the reason? Sure, Yes, but to a small extent.

The Russian Air Force did not and is not performing all that well, despite the opponent being perceived as many times less numerous.

The law is quite broad and mentions Iran , Russia and North Korea as countries that need to be countered.

So with that new era of more efficient sanctions, pressure was applied to both Egypt and Indonesia , and contracts were eventually dropped.

It's plausible the US applied pressure to other countries to dissuade them from finalizing contracts with Russia , but there is no way to know for sure.
